Re: quietest canisters

Have a look at Zimmerman (all st/st) as well...….fitting of intake trumpets to help reduce induction noise + prop selection also play a BIG part, it's not just about the muffler.

Re: The Global “anti-drone” hysteria continues..

Re: John Townsend RIP

Sad news, condolences to Simon & the rest of the family. Having only recently completed the final inspection on John's stunning Mr. Mulligan, I truly hope it's possible at some point in the future that someone may take this superb model on & fly it in John's memory.

Re: Ziroli Hellcat CG position....HELP

You always balance a model with rearward retracting gear 'gear up' so it goes a little nose heavy as the gear comes down, rather than tail heavy when the gear goes up.
